Abstract (en)

A transmitter (2) generating a train of pulses arranged in groups of two, each group including a long pulse and a short pulse of different frequencies. These long and short pulses are separated in a receiver (3) by a range gate (12) which passes the pulses through the upper receiving channel when reflected from long ranges and the lower receiving channel when received from short ranges. The upper channel includes a filter (19) which passes only the long pulses (which are frequency swept). These pulses are compressed in a compressor network (20). <??>The lower channel includes a filter (15) which passes only the short pulses which, in this particular embodiment, are not frequency-swept. The transmitter (2) reverses the order of the pulses in adjacent groups. Alternatively, both the long and short pulses may all be frequency-swept. In either event there are adjacent pairs of swept pulses in contrast to known systems in which each swept pulse has immediately been preceded or followed by an unswept pulse.
